{"product_id":"le-jardin-des-supplices","title":"Le Jardin des supplices","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Jardin des supplices, the most scandalous book of Octave Mirbeau, sets a savage satire of fin-de-siècle European politics and colonialism against a nightmare journey through a Chinese torture garden, where an Englishwoman, Clara, leads the narrator among flowers and executions. Dedicated to « the priests, the soldiers, the judges », it was written in the aftermath of the Dreyfus affair and became a cult text of the Decadent movement. This is the Bibliothèque-Charpentier edition issued by Eugène Fasquelle in Paris in 1899, the year of first publication. This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1899 edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EDITIONS RECREASOFT","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":68090873512240,"sku":"9782387814425","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/le-jardin-des-supplices","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
